    I have to wait for the UK release on the 25th,
    then I have to wait a couple days for Amazon to deliver it,
    then even though I'll have the game, I'll have to wait until June 4th for my arms to come out of plaster before I can even play the game...... sigh

    Yeah, that really does blow. On the bright side, it could be worse. I'm pre-ordering it and picking it up on Tuesday, but I'm not totally sure if I'll be playing it 'til Friday afternoon. Exams all this week.

    I'll be getting it on Friday too, could have got it a day early but overspent and had to cancel my pre-order. I'm gonna have to avoid talking to anyone across the pond for a few days, but on the bright side, they always get screwed with pre-order bonuses and we get the lot :)

    ...aaand because it's a hot topic at the moment:

    "We're one of the only sites to play both versions of Red Dead Redemption.
    We've played both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game and we can categorically state that - other than a 600mb install on the Sony console - they're virtually identical. Yep, Red Dead Redemption is a technical marvel on both the Xbox 360 and PS3, with stunning visual effects, efficient background loading and of course great gameplay throughout. Rockstar were unavailable to comment on our findings. While some games suffer platform-specifc differences in terms of vertical-sync and refresh rate issues we noticed nothing of the sort in Red Dead.
    "

    Had this preordered from a month ago and can't wait to pick this up tomorrow:) I'm surprised that Rockstar North didn't work on the game but either way I'm happy :D

    I now need to convince my parents not to look at the "Nudity and sexual content" on the rating part and then this game is mine.

    Hahaha! Being able to buy M rating games myself is pretty awesome! ;) :p
    I hate how they put that crap in games though. I didn't get Heavy Rain for that reason. I don't know if I'll be able to pass this one up though!
    (Hoping POP:TFS gets around a 9 so I don't feel bad for reordering it instead!)
    I guess we'll see tomorrow! :D
